Oil painting-"Blue Jar"

"Blue Jar"
Oil on linen
10 x 12 inches
Sides are painted
$50.

Good Morning!
I have been interested in shadows lately. This blue jar casts a very interesting and colorful shadow. It was really a lot of fun to paint and try to capture the colors inside it.
Obviously the camera didn't capture the colors that are there in the jar and shadow. It still turned out pretty well for a study.
Until tomorrow,
Glynis

Paintings for the website

Good Morning!

Yesterday was a busy day here. As promised, I posted my abstract painting on
www.de-yong.com "The Red Plate" is available for viewing along with my other more abstract paintings, acrylics and works on paper.

For a few days, I have been working on a small still life, similar to the fast and loose painting of red daisies that I posted yesterday. This painting, "SHADOW" is posted for your viewing pleasure on my other website, www.glynisberger.com

I encourage you to make the comparison. Look at my fast and loose blog paintings and the more detailed work on the websites.

It's obvious that I still haven't been able to resolve my style/mood differences. I cannot paint the same way all the time and truthfully don't think I want to. There is something to be said for spontanaiety (spell check, where are you?) and I think I prefer it to being so consistent which I find boring. Feedback is welcome.
Until tomorrow,
Glynis

Oil painting on canvas, "Red Daisies"

"Red Daisies"
Oil on canvas
8 x 10 inches
SOLD
Good Morning!
We planned to paint outside today, but the weather didn't work out. It was overcast and cold, making pleinair painting less than fun. Jen set up a still life and we stayed indoors. I painted an abstract that can be seen on http://www.de-yong.com/ I should have it up later today, so check it out if you can.
Later, I painted these red daisies, thinking of sunnier days.
Enjoy,
Glynis
This painting is being exhibited at the League of Reston Artists Juried Show in Reston VA.
It is not currently for sale on the blog (but is for sale there). Please contact me if you have any questions.

Daily oil painting, "Daffodils"

"Daffodils"
Oil on canvas
Sides painted and gallery wrapped
10 x 10 Inches
SOLD
Good Morning!
It's been a very busy couple of weeks. Travel, running paintings everywhere, framing, more framing. All in all, it's been good and I have been painting in between everything else. Kurt's show is up at 222, the League of Reston Artists show opened today. The Mill show in Millville will open April 26. I hope you will take the time to go and see the really good original art that is being displayed at these venues.
My painting today is of Daffodils. Spring is rapidly passing through. I bought these flowers and before I knew it, they were "overripe". I grabbed a quick painting before they lost their beauty. Please take the time to enjoy spring before it slips away.
Until tomorrow,
Glynis

This painting has been donated to the Greyhound Angel Network auction. The link to bid will be posted shortly. Greyhound Angel Network pays medical bills for greyhounds in need. This is a favorite charity of mine and Winslow's. Please visit their auction and bid on something. It's a good cause and we are proud to donate.
